Multiplying a 3x3 matrix by a vector (x,y,z) scales each column of the matrix (which represents a transformed basis vector) by the corresponding input coordinate and sums the results. This works because linear transformations preserve addition and scalar multiplication.
Conditions: Matrix is 3x3 representing a linear transformation; Input vector has coordinates (x,y,z); Transformation is linear
